Original text and translations

Latin text Dixit Joseph undecim fratribus suis: Ego sum Joseph quem vendidistis in Aegyptum. Adhuc vivit pater noster senior de quo dixeratis mihi? Ite adducite eum ad me ut possit vivere. Nuntiaverunt Jacob dicentes: Joseph, filius tuus vivit et ipse dominatur in tota terra Aegypti. Quo audito revixit spiritus ejus et dixit: Sufficit mihi, vadam et videbo eum antequam moriar.

English translation Then Joseph said unto his eleven brethren: I am Joseph your brother whom ye sold into Egypt. Is our aged father, of whom you spoke to me, still alive? Go, bring him here to me, that he may flourish. They told Jacob saying: Joseph is yet alive, and he also is governor over all the land of Egypt. Then the spirit of Jacob their father revived, and Jacob said: I have enough, I will go and see him yet I die. (Geneva Bible)

Hungarian translation József így szólt tizenegy testvéréhez: Én vagyok József, akit ti eladtatok Egyiptomba. Él még idős apánk, akiről beszéltetek nekem? Menjetek és hozzátok el hozzám, hogy éljen. Jelentették Jákobnak: Él József, a te fiad és ő uralkodik Egyiptom egész földjén. Ezt hallván újraéledt a lelke és így szólt: Ennyi elég nekem, megyek, hogy lássam őt mielőtt meghalok.
